In recognition of K12 Design Education work by the BSA and its partners, Mayor Wu has recognized April 13 to 19, 2025, as Architecture Week in the City of Boston.

During February school vacation, high school students tackled this question during Architecture/Design Thinking Week, a design bootcamp hosted in collaboration between BSA K-12 Design Education and the Boston Private Industry Council (PIC). Over four days, roughly 40 Boston Public School students worked with architects and designers from local firms to reimagine the new Fort Point Room at 290 Congress Street as a teen-centered space.

Guided by Sasaki and Sasaki Foundation, Goody Clancy, Finegold Alexander, and HMFH, students explored the design process—from brainstorming and sketching to model-making and final presentations. The result? Innovative concepts shaped by teens, for teens.

The 2025 Jury of Fellows from the American Institute of Architects (AIA) elevated 83 member-architects — including 2 BSA members — and 10 non-member-architects to its prestigious College of Fellows, an honor awarded to architects who have made significant contributions to the profession.

The BSA supports a wide range of design styles and stands by the principle that architecture must honor local identity and culture, with design reflecting the unique values of the people of our Commonwealth.

The AIA sent a message to all members regarding recent Executive Orders that affect the profession.
